Flood hit Qld shires to get $1 million

Queensland shires inundated by devastating floods that have caused widespread losses will get $1 million each.

The federal government will provide an immediate non-gratia payment of $1 million to each of the affected shires, Prime Minister Scott Morrison told the national press club in Canberra.

"This payment will be for them to use on priorities they deem most urgent - whether that be rate relief for impacted properties, infrastructure, or the disposal of cattle which have perished," he said on Monday.
